Create a group chat on LinkedIn Messaging

Last updated: 4 days ago

You can start a group chat with two or more of your 1st-degree connections. You can add up to 50 members. Everyone in the group chat is an admin and can add or remove members, edit the conversation name, and see all past messages.

To start a group chat:

  1. Click the  Messaging icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage.

    • You can also click on the messaging conversation window at the lower-right corner of your LinkedIn homepage.
  2. Click the Compose icon.

  3. Type the name(s) of your recipient(s) in the Type a name field and click on their names to add to the chat.

  4. Type your message in the Write a message box. 

  5. Click Send.

Notes:
  • All participants in a group chat share the same conversation history, even if they join later.

  • Group chats should be used to create conversations with your connections and not for mass messaging.

  • If you find the group chat irrelevant or unhelpful, you can report it or leave the chat.
